Celebrate Black History Month: African-American Monuments in New York City's ParksThe Arsenal at Fifth Ave. and East 63rd St.

The monuments in our parks honor the heights of human achievement and
the depths of human sacrifice. They are intended in permanent form to
commemorate persons, events and values of lasting consequence to the
evolution of our city, nation and the world, and to our advancement as a
people.

In honor of Black History Month, this exhibition examines those
monuments in the Parks collection that honor key African-American
figures in the arts, sport, the military, science, and the abolition
movement and who are preserved in our collective memory. Also remembered
are the many thousands of anonymous people who, until emancipation, did
not have the rights of citizenship and were enslaved.

This event is organized by the City of New York Parks & Recreation. Find out more about this event at their website.
